So I want to add IPTV to my entertainment menu. (If you have good provider or app recommendations, DM me). But I want to run it through VPN.

What I’m thinking of doing is getting an inexpensive, second android box to use to watch IPTV. Then set up a VPN tunnel on my router and send all traffic from that device through the VPN.

That ensures I won’t disrupt any existing streaming services with VPN, and I won’t have to remember to fire up the VPN before watching IPTV (more importantly, I’m sure my kid won’t remember). Thoughts?

    I’ve tried it before. I have had lots of issues because the devs of Threadfin don’t seem to test their code before they push a release.

      Yeah same so I pin the version number that is working and so I don’t use the latest version when they release. I get you. With that approach I got the stability.
